A man has been left lying on the pavement in the middle of South Brisbane barely conscious after he and another man took on a security guard on Sunday afternoon.
Police arrested two men at the scene over what a spokesman described as "a serious assault", which started just after 2pm on the corner of Tribune and Grey Street.

Paramedics took a man in a stable condition to the Mater Hospital, however it was unclear what involvement the patient had in the assault.
A witness told Fairfax Media one of the men "was on the ground with his eyes fluttering" after the fight and barely conscious, but thankfully "he got up later".
